1.17.1. Using Precompiled Simulation Libraries
You can enable use of precompiled simulation libraries by specifying settings in the EDA Simulation Library Compiler GUI, or in batch mode with the PRECOMP_DEVICE_LIB_FILE variable at a terminal window.
When you enable use of precompiled simulation libraries, Platform Designer generates simulation scripts that include the PRECOMP_DEVICE_LIB_FILE variable. This variable can hold the following different values, depending on your simulator of choice. When you specify a precompiled simulation library file for the PRECOMP_DEVICE_LIB_FILE variable, the Quartus® Prime software reuses this precompiled file, rather than re-compiling the same device libraries every time you compile simulation sources of the project or IP.
For complete details on using precompiled simulation libraries, refer to Quartus Prime Pro Edition User Guide: Third-Party Simulation

Note: If the Path to the modelsim.ini or Tcl file is invalid, the script automatically switches back to the default (non-precompiled) flow of compiling device libraries locally.

Device library mapping moves from synopsys_sim.setup to a new device_synopsys_sim.setup file, where synopsys_sim.setup is a static file and _device_synopsys_sim.setup is dynamic. _device_synopsys_sim.setup populates at run time, depending on the value of PRECOMP_DEVICE_LIB_PATH. |

Device library mapping is moves from cds.lib to a new file _device.cds.lib, where cds.lib is a static file and _device.cds.lib is dynamic. _device.cds.lib populated at run time, depending on the value of PRECOMP_DEVICE_LIB_PATH. |
